You're literally admitting right here that it's okay to spin the news if you think you have a good reason as well as the fact that the mainstream media is no different AT ALL than Fox News.

But you also don't get to pretend that this started with Donald Trump, either.

After all - Donald Trump was way off the radar when CBS tried to manufacture some National Guard documents to sway the outcome of a Presidential race....but I'm sure someone here will tell us that was justified, too.
For the record, wasn't Dan Rather duped into believing the records were true and CBS didn't manufacture them. That's not to justify what Rather did just explain it better. He screwed up and paid the price.

I don't remember the story well enough to say for sure, but it is a HELL of a lot easier to dupe someone when you are telling them what they want to hear. I suspect that was a contributing factor.

I think I remember there being a good suspicion that the document was planted by the Bush campaign - to embarrass his critics, Rather being one of them.

If true, that would be an easy stunt to pull off. Dubya would have never thought of this, but Cheney might have. Which is why one must never, ever, ever, ever trust a Cheney. (And don't go hunting with them, either.)

both sides


I'm not quite sure why you're bothered since you're the one who made the admission that you didn't mind the press covering up

I can forgive the press being a little too lenient when the country was faced with an existential threat from a crime family masquerading as politicians.

It's okay for the press to be a co-conspirator just so long as you like it.

The anti-MAGA crowd sounds exactly like the MAGA crowd in their situational ethics the further one gets from the center of the horseshoe.

No, Bush was never that crafty.

Cheney? Well he only SHOT A GUY IN THE FACE!!

(Non-Sportss inside joie from many years ago!" :D

Wow, so this Trump view of the universe goes back with Democrats to 2004?????

It stands to reason given Trump WAS a Democrat and made all of his political donations to Democrats except those to Giuliani, who wasn't much of a Republican.

While Rome burns, I'm extremely glad we let it happen. We didn't want to be inhospitable.

Biden push for $10B electric mail delivery fleet flops with just 250 trucks built in two years

A Biden administration plan to create a “green” fleet of postal vehicles has churned out a mere 250 electric mail trucks in just over two years — after shelling out taxpayer funds meant to build thousands — leaving Republicans raging at the multibillion-dollar “boondoggle.”

As of this month, the project is well behind schedule despite taxpayers forking over $1.7 billion — prompting Capitol Hill Republicans to try to rescind the remaining nearly $1.3 billion earmarked from the IRA.

“Biden’s multi-billion-dollar EV fleet for the USPS is lost in the mail and more than $1 billion is postmarked to order more,” Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) told The Post.

ok. i hope you are successful in finding a selma-approved democratic voice to speak up for you
I hope your party is more successful at actually listening to voices without having to have a seminar in "how to talk to white dudes", too.
